This Barding comes in a pair of neckpieces. One is a bone choker for the rider, while the other is a large leather collar for the wielder's mount. Both have arcane symbols carved into them, with a small metallic disk on the front of each displaying a symbol of protection. It takes an hour to attune to the barding, during which time both rider and mount must wear their respective neck wear and remain within 100 feet of each other. Once the attunement is complete, only one creature need be attuned to it (see below.)
As an action, the wearer with the higher intelligence can declare who is providing and who is receiving the bonuses of this barding. The recipient of the bonuses for this item must be the one holding the attunement of the item, while the provider is free to attune to other items. If the Attunement is swapped and the new recipient has no available attunement slots, the magic fails and the attunement on both creatures ends.
The recipient of this bonus gains magical shielding that supersedes their own worn or natural armor. The recipient's AC becomes equal to the provider, unless their AC is greater. The other wielder gains no benefit from any other armor bonuses unless it would improve their natural AC over that of the magical shielding. They also suffer no penalties that the armor would normally incur. This benefit lasts while the provider is conscious and within one mile of the recipient.
Notes: recipient of the protection
